20Hæc autem eo cogitante,But while thinking over these things,ecce angelus Domini apparuit in somnis ei,behold,dicens:an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep,Joseph,saying:fili David,“Joseph,noli timere accipere Mariam conjugem tuam:son of David,quod enim in ea natum est,do not be afraid to accept Mary as your wife.de Spiritu Sancto est.For what has been formed in her is of the Holy Spirit.

21Pariet autem filium:And she shall give birth to a son.et vocabis nomen ejus Jesum:And you shall call his name JESUS.ipse enim salvum faciet populum suum a peccatis eorum.For he shall accomplish the salvation of his people from their sins.”

22Hoc autem totum factum est,Now all this occurred in order to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet,ut adimpleretur quod dictum est a Domino per prophetam dicentem:saying:

23Ecce virgo in utero habebit, et pariet filium:“Behold, a virgin shall conceive in her womb,et vocabunt nomen ejus Emmanuel,and she shall give birth to a son.quod est interpretatum Nobiscum Deus.And they shall call his name Emmanuel, which means: God is with us.”

24Exsurgens autem Joseph a somno,Then Joseph, arising from sleep,fecit sicut præcepit ei angelus Domini,did just as the Angel of the Lord had instructed him,et accepit conjugem suam.and he accepted her as his wife.

25Et non cognoscebat eam donec peperit filium suum primogenitum:And he knew her not, yet she bore her son, the firstborn.et vocavit nomen ejus Jesum.And he called his name JESUS.
